feat(appsync): merged APIs #26895

jumic · 2023-08-26T14:11:12Z

Add support for AppSync Merged API feature.

At the moment, a GraphQL schema can be passed using the schema property. I deprecated this property because it is not used for merged APIs.
Depecreated syntax:

const api = new appsync.GraphqlApi(this, 'Api', {
  name: 'demo',
  schema: appsync.SchemaFile.fromAsset(path.join(__dirname, 'schema.graphql')),
});

Instead, I introduced a new property apiSource that can be used to create a AppSync GraphQL API or Merged API.
GraphQL API:

const api = new appsync.GraphqlApi(this, 'Api', {
  name: 'demo',
  apiSource: appsync.ApiSource.fromSchema(appsync.SchemaFile.fromAsset(path.join(__dirname, 'schema.graphql'))),
  // short version
  apiSource: appsync.ApiSource.fromFile(path.join(__dirname, 'schema.graphql')),
});

Merged API:

const api = new appsync.GraphqlApi(this, 'Api', {
  name: 'demo',
  apiSource: appsync.ApiSource.fromSourceApis({
    sourceApis: [
      {
        sourceApi: firstApi,
        mergeType: appsync.MergeType.MANUAL_MERGE,
      },
      {
        sourceApi: secondApi,
        mergeType: appsync.MergeType.AUTO_MERGE,
      },
    ],
  }),
});

Closes #25960.

Thanks, I love it!

I have one lingering concern on naming, but I'm also having a hard time coming up with something 😅

I know I came up with apiSource myself, but I'm not a 100% happy with it 😅 . Have you given any thought to alternatives? Is there a term that AppSync itself uses for that might apply here?

Probably schema should be part of the name. Both GraphQL APIs and Merged APIs have a schema configuration in the AWS console:

GraphQL API: Design your schema using GraphQL SDL, attach resolvers, and quickly deploy AWS resources.

Merged API: Your Merged API’s schema is created from the schemas of your included Source APIs, and is read only. Changes to the schema must be initiated in your source APIs.

How about schemaSource or schemaDefinition?

@elthrasher @Lock128 After using the Merged API in our hackathon project: Do you have any feedback or ideas for a new name? We are looking for a better name than apiSource (see examples in the pull request).

I like "definition". How about just definition?: Definition or apiDefinition?: ApiDefinition ?

Let's call it definition. Other attributes like name don't use api as a prefix, so I'm fine with definition.

Ooo, what does that mean?

Doesn't automatic sound like a better default?

Developers must manually press the Merge Now button in the AWS console to merge changes from source APIs into the Merged API. This is the default behaviour in CloudFormation (see documentation) and when you manually create a Merged API in the AWS console.

However, I used the AUTO_MERGE merge type in my project. So it's fine for me if we change it default to AUTO_MERGE in CDK. Please let me know which default value we should use.

Whatever default we choose should be friendly to CI/CD. If a merge cannot be triggered from CloudFormation, then I think automatic should be the default.

I'm impressed this service team actually built this feature! Let's use it!

Okay, I changed the default to AUTO_MERGE.

And you must do at least one (so, exactly one).

(props.schema !== undefined) === (props.apiSource !== undefined) will also be true if both are undefined.

Done, another if-statement checks if schema or definition is set.

Let's make it easy on ourselves and make this private. I don't want to expose things on the public API unless absolutely necessary.

Wouldn't that be a breaking change? Currently, I can access the schema of the construct, but later I cannot?

schema will still be there, it just got moved.

(But it will throw if the API was not created from a schema)

Should schema be deprecated? I deprecated it in this PR. That means, it will be removed in CDK v3.
The schema will then be inaccessible, which could be considered a breaking change (information is no longer available). However, I am not sure how this property is used by other developers.

Thanks for letting me know, I had missed that.

Let's leave .schema as it is for now without deprecating. I'm also not quite sure what people would use it for; I'm inclined to think it's not necessary, but I also don't want to make too many assumptions.

We also need this role to be able to access all top level fields like: :*. Can you fix this to add both the source api arn alone and the source api arn with wildcard for all top level fields? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appsync/latest/devguide/merged-api.html#execution-roles-merged-api

Thanks for pointing this out. I will fix it next week. I'm on holiday at the moment.

Hey, I am actually going to be in this code for an enhancement here so I can go ahead and submit these changes if you want?

I don't mean to necro this, but the deprecation comment when using schema still references apiSource, which was really confusing until I came to read this PR :)

aws-cdk/packages/aws-cdk-lib/aws-appsync/lib/graphqlapi.ts

Line 412 in 3c7ca51

* @deprecated use apiSource.schema instead

What's next? I can't see myself having the time to make a PR for this change any time soon...an issue for documentation? Can someone else make a PR faster than me (probably)?
